Wait! Yep, I wear my workout clothes to work. Firstly, I work in a casual office so I could actually wear my workout clothes if I wanted, but I do like to dress somewhat professionally so I don't wear just my workout clothes. After-all, you should dress for the job you want right?
I usually wear leggings and a dress in the winter time. I find that this combo looks cute, is very comfortable, and allows me to go from meetings with sales reps to moving boxes if needed.
I took a cue from the Lululemon Wunder Under challenge, and I purchased some workout pants that also double as leggings! As a bonus, they are a little more durable and never see through like other leggings can be.
Most of my dresses are from Forever 21 (I'm on a budget!) so they all require undershirts or you might be at risk for showing too much. Usually I would wear a plain tank, but instead I traded it out for a workout top.
There isn't really any change in comfort or in style with these small wardrobe tweaks, but there is a huge difference in motivation! How can I not workout? I'm already dressed! I always find that getting dressed is the hardest part.
Roni of Roni's Weigh uses this tactic a lot for working out in the morning, she sleeps in her running clothes! I applied the same principle here, and it works great. I simply stash an extra pair of running shoes in the car and I'm always ready to squeeze in a workout.

I LOVE this idea, you definitely don't look like you are gearing up for a workout either, you actually look quite stylish I must say!
Not sure if I could pull this off in my office, but I'll always give everything a try at least once. :)
What a great idea! I'm not sure if I could get away with wearing my workout clothes to work... but with an outfit like that, it might work!
I always wear workout clothes whenever I can :) For example...I will go to sleep with workout clothes on if I don't have class the next day or if I am on a time crunch. I think long/black workout pants are very flattering...especially for one's rear end ;) hehehehe
I don't have any Lululemon clothes yet...I'm a poor college student :(
Oh man. I wish I could pull that off at my work. That is a great idea!
This is an AWESOME idea! Thank you so much for sharing! I've got to look into a pair of those leggings.
Thanks so much!!!
If you don't think you could pull it off, you can always wear a fancier dress or shirt and skirt, and then wear some work-appropriate knee high boots.
I love Lululemon but it is definitely a splurge for me. I use purchases from there as rewards for meeting my goals :)
I thought I was the only one who did this! It really helps me by removing a barrier to working out. Glad to see I’m not alone. You look adorable in your outfits!
Great idea! Changing is a pain. I try to always wear workout clothes at home. And just exercise in between work (from home). :)
I immediately went on the lululemon site to see how much these pants were because i want them....what a great idea. they are pricey but I guess that is to be expected from lulu, i've never bought anything there because of that but I guess it's worth it?
bt-dubs you look great, from work to yoga!
AND so funny you mention sleeping in your gym gear, I skipped the run I wanted to do tonight because of this paper I am supposed to be currently working on (oy vey) but I put on gym gear so when I wake up in the morning hopefully I will be more motivated to work out! We shall see !
